Life Line Screening is an excellent way to get an overview of your current state of health. Their services dig deep into your health and provide results that are above and beyond the type of screening you would typically receive from primary care physician. Yet, Life Line Screening presents you with results that are specifically designed to be shared with your doctor. Life Line Screening offers the most comprehensive exam, designed to make sure you get the best care possible. Whether it is care for something found during the screening or simply preventative care, you are in the best hands possible when you work together with Life Line Screening and your primary care doctor.

Life Line Screenings are completely painless and they are not invasive in the slightest. For those who are shy to get blood drawn, Life Line is able to do blood draws with a simple finger prick, rather than a full blood extraction.

Most screenings require very little preparation, making them a great option for people with busy schedules. The goal of Life Line Screening is to make it as simple as possible to get an overall look at your current state of health and to take control of your own health to live a long, healthy life.
